It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Susan Griffith, beloved wife, mother and grandmother. Susan passed away peacefully on July 27, 2011. Pre-deceased by her husband Joe, she is survived by her daughter Anna, son-in-law Mel and grand children Kiana and Jared and many other family and friends. Born in London England, Susan was a member of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force and spent 2 years in British Intelligence during WWII among other postings. Following the war, Susan married Canadian RCAF officer Joe Griffith and moved to Canada, settling first in Montreal then moving to White Rock in 1967. Susan was an active volunteer. She worked with Girl Guides of Canada in both Quebec and BC. She was an active community member on the Parks and Recreation Commission and with both the White Rock Amateur Swimming Association and the White Rock Figure Skating Club. Susan touched the lives of many during her 90+ years. She will be missed but not forgotten and will remain in our hearts always. A celebration of her life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831- 28th Ave Surrey, BC on Friday, August 12th at 11:00am. We are very thankful for the love and support provided throughout the years by the Leonard and Purvis families and Susan’s many friends and relatives. Our gratitude goes out as well to the staff at the Waterford in Tsawwassen and to the ICU staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital for their kind and professional care.
